Paint Makes The World Better

Last week or maybe it was 2 or probably more like 3 weeks ago I went around my house collecting stuff for Goodwill that I no longer needed/wanted. I came across a few items I thought maybe I would like to hold onto in case I need them again in the future. Nope.Wrong thinking.I remembered that I had promised Matt I would not keep extra stuff around the house that I was not using. I don't want to be one those people (a hoarder) who keeps items in the garage in Tupperware. That turns into the lady who has a garage full of stuff and then becomes a lady with a house full of stuff and then maybe a lady who has multiple storage units of stuff. It would just be a never ending cycle!Plus why should I spend $5 to buy a box to house stuff I might or might not ever use again!?!?!Not doing it anymore. I will be the first one to admit I have done this for years and years claiming I would use the items once I had a house.

Well guess what?I have a house!If I have no need for it now, I'll never have a need for it.

So what do I decide to do?I decided to make a few items useful by changing their appearance.Good idea, right?I thought so too!

I had a trash can which I need for my hall bathroom, 2 cute tin jars which don't match my décor, and a bread basket that I love but hate the gold color.Spray painted them all a nice nickel color after priming them and now I have these beauties!

I am still deciding if I want to change the color of the trash bin to white (my entire bathroom is white and it looks a bit out of place)... but other than that I think my items turned out wonderful! Already have the other 3 items on my bookshelf which I'll show you soon.Another successful painting job done by this amateur painter. :)

About Me

Hi, my name is Jessica and I am married to my best friend, Matthew. We are mommy and daddy to our sweet 18 year old fur baby, Wyatt (who I have had since the 7th grade), and to a little guy inside my stomach who is expected to arrive on or around November 5th. We are excited to become first time parents to a human baby after so much practice with our fur baby and this blog is helping me document everything from trying to have a baby, to pregnancy, to him actually being here.
I enjoying cruising the Caribbean (will be a few years before our next one), reading and attempting to craft.
